I went with the one Davis tents sells. I think it is a summit stove. I got the next up size. With seasoned wood it will burn through the night. Although I normally don,t care if it does (good sleeping bag). I have a 12x14 wall tent with the 3/4floor. Works great. Give Davis tent a call. They are great folks to talk to.

This probably isn't helpful, but the best deals are always AFTER hunting season. Unless, of course, you need it for hunting season!
I really want it more for survival/preparedness. Gotta be wood burning otherwise it defeats the purpose. Thanks for the ideas though
I was just looking at THIS ONE at Cabela's. And it's on sale.
yeah cabelas has some nice ones. ive been looking at several of theirs
I've been outfitting for over 35 years and the stove I recommend is the Simms Sportsman Stove. Just bought the a new one last year to replace my first one!

We usually build them out of large ammo cans. I'll see if I can get some pics posted when the wife gets back home.

I ended up getting a decent one as part of a deal it's a kni-co stove. I did have issues though with the stove pipe coming apart in the wind, especially swirling wind where it pushes and lifts. Should I be bolting the sections together? They fit tight when I put them together but if the wind is just right it pulls them apart. Which, as you might imagine, is a bit frightening in a tent. Straight wind at Pawnee was ok, swirling wind in monument not so much. How do you guys deal with the wind?
Some duct tape (metal type not duck), and you can cut through it to disasemble
Kifaru stoves are pretty good. compared to others they are relatively lightweight, they can be disassembled and packed down fairly small and they offer them in different sizes.
